Abstract

High resolution measurements of surface oceanic and atmospheric N2O and CO2 were carried out during two cruises off Angola/Namibia in July-August 2013. A novel system based upon off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) was coupled to a well-established GO System (General Oceanics, Inc.) in order to perform a detailed survey of the surface distributions of these gases during the upwelling season. Our observations show high supersaturations of both gases all along the cruise tracks as well as stronger gradients in transects closer to the coast, suggesting strong (though localized) N2O and CO2 outgassing to the atmosphere. Here we present the preliminary results of these surveys and explore the potential mechanisms explaining the distribution and sea-to-air fluxes of both gases.
